| 23611 | 23610 | US | Light, clean and fresh on the nose, this bottling from a rather extremely sited vineyard on the western end of the appellation shows cut lawn, lemongrass, squeezed lime and wet concrete on the nose. The palate is zesty and sour at first, but a honeydew element warms it up nicely. | | 91 | 22 | California | Santa Maria Valley | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Presqu'ile 2015 Sauvignon Blanc (Santa Maria Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Presqu'ile |
| 23612 | 23611 | US | An amazingly sweet and rich wine, this has a floral aroma and great concentration. It offers layers of flavor like dried fruit, honey and boysenberry syrup, with good acidity for balance. This makes a fabulous dessert by itself and is sweet enough to conquer almost any other confection. | Elysium | 91 | 22 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Quady 2014 Elysium Black Muscat (California) | Black Muscat | Quady |
| 23613 | 23612 | Israel | Dark red-violet in color, this wine has aromas of black plum, fig, chocolate and mint. Flavors of blackberry, cherry, black fig, eucalyptus and anise coalesce on the palate. Tannins are strong, but fruit and brightness hold their own. Touches of cranberry join the show just prior to the lingering finish. | Reserve Wild | 91 | 50 | Israel | | | Mike DeSimone | @worldwineguys | Recanati 2014 Reserve Wild Carignan (Israel) | Carignan | Recanati |
| 23614 | 23613 | Italy | Aromas of licorice, tilled soil, leather, underbrush, blackberry, camphor and a whiff of crushed rock lead the way. On the silky, gracious palate, clove, star anise and a hint of graphite back up a core of mature cherry while lithe tannins offer polished support. | | 91 | 41 | Piedmont | Barbaresco | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Rizzi 2013 Barbaresco | Nebbiolo | Rizzi |
| 23615 | 23614 | US | Refreshingly marked by a tangy acidity, this white is made to please, fermented entirely in stainless steel. It sings in zesty, medium-bodied layers of peach and lime that are fresh and juicy on the palate, yet it somehow maintains some unexpected complexity. | | 91 | 15 | California | Alexander Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Roth 2014 Sauvignon Blanc (Alexander Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Roth |
| 23616 | 23615 | US | Classy in style and classic in flavors, this single vineyard selection offers strawberry fruit with highlights of melon and orange peel. It's dappled with notes of coffee and cola, smoothed out from 16 months in French oak, one-fifth of it new. | Temperance Hill Vineyard | 91 | 36 | Oregon | Eola-Amity Hills | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | St. Innocent 2014 Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills) | Pinot Noir | St. Innocent |
| 23617 | 23616 | US | A sensational value, this blends fruit from a half-dozen vineyards that carry the winery's vineyard designates. Soft and appealing flavors mix citrus, plum and berry in a juicy, wide open, flat out delicious bottle. The fruit is the star, although a year in 9% new French oak adds a nice touch of toast. | Villages Cuvée | 91 | 26 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | St. Innocent 2014 Villages Cuvée Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley) | Pinot Noir | St. Innocent |
| 23618 | 23617 | Argentina | Mossy, lightly herbal blackberry aromas are complex and include notes of cedar and licorice. This feels solid and gritty, with manageable but serious tannins. Flavors of ripe blackberry, cassis and peppery spice finish chocolaty and oaky. This is excellent New World Cabernet even if it's not charting any new pathways. Drink through 2021. | Single Vineyard Los Aromos | 91 | 55 | Mendoza Province | Luján de Cuyo | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Terrazas de Los Andes 2012 Single Vineyard Los Aromos Cabernet Sauvignon (Luján de Cuyo) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Terrazas de Los Andes |
| 23619 | 23618 | US | This winery not only makes a bunch of single vineyard bottlings, but also tries to show off different styles. This one shows sweeter white peach, ripe cantaloupe, lush mango and a touch of vanilla on the nose. The palate is ripe and round with more mango, melon, papaya and banana flavors, yet that opulence is bound by chalky structure and lots of back-end acid. | Fogstone Vineyard | 91 | 48 | California | Santa Lucia Highlands | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Testarossa 2014 Fogstone Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands) | Chardonnay | Testarossa |
| 23620 | 23619 | Australia | With a mere 422 bottles produced, this review is barely more than academic, as it will be near impossible to track down some of this. Lucky/persistent lotto winners will experience a medium- to full-bodied red with a velvety mouthfeel, cassis, vanilla and cedar notes and something akin to charred tomato. | | 91 | 250 | Western Australia | Margaret River | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | Cloudburst 2012 Malbec (Margaret River) | Malbec | Cloudburst |
| 23621 | 23620 | France | Crisp, tight and mineral, this classic wine has citrus and apple fruits filled out with creamed pear. The zingy texture is still young and vibrant. With intense acidity at the end, the wine could still develop, so drink from early 2017. | | 91 | 23 | Burgundy | Pouilly-Fuissé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Vitallis 2014 Pouilly-Fuissé | Chardonnay | Château Vitallis |
| 23622 | 23621 | France | From vines aged between 40 and 80 years, this is a lightly wood-aged wine, with yellow fruits that go with the spicy toast. Full, ripe, and nicely cut with acidity, it has a creamy, smooth texture. Drink now. | Vieilles Vignes | 91 | 30 | Burgundy | Pouilly-Fuissé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Vitallis 2014 Vieilles Vignes (Pouilly-Fuissé) | Chardonnay | Château Vitallis |
| 23623 | 23622 | France | There is a fine touch of spice in this wine. Bright and tangy, it is also full with white fruits, ripe acidity and a warm while zesty character. Still young and zesty, the wine will soften over the next few months into something more rounded. Drink from 2017. | En Faux | 91 | 30 | Burgundy | Saint-Véran | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Christophe Cordier 2014 En Faux (Saint-Véran) | Chardonnay | Christophe Cordier |
| 23624 | 23623 | France | This two-acre premier cru situated north of Beaune city gives smooth and rich wines. This bottling shows the acidity of the vintage while also having a full, round character, ripe with strawberries and crisp with acidity. The wine needs more time, so drink from 2019. | En Genêt Premier Cru | 91 | 55 | Burgundy | Beaune | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Arnoux Père et Fils 2014 En Genêt Premier Cru (Beaune) | Pinot Noir | Domaine Arnoux Père et Fils |
| 23625 | 23624 | France | For a Lalande de Pomerol this wine has a high proportion (30%) of Cabernet Franc, giving a structure that shapes the ripe Merlot. It's juicy with black plums and has a core of dry tannins. Drink from 2018. | | 90 | 36 | Bordeaux | Lalande de Pomerol | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Tournefeuille 2013 Lalande de Pomerol | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Tournefeuille |
| 23626 | 23625 | US | The first Merlot offering from this producer, this is 100% varietal and totally full-throttle in its fleshy components of vanilla and chocolate, seasoned in cinnamon. Fresh and somewhat floral, it's bright despite its size and lively on the palate. The wine is made in tiny amounts. | Oakville Station | 90 | 75 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Cornerstone 2012 Oakville Station Merlot (Napa Valley) | Merlot | Cornerstone |
| 23627 | 23626 | US | Lemon-lime acidity cuts a laser-sharp edge through honey in this lush, concentrated Riesling full of pink grapefruit, mango and peach flavors. It's a lip smacking, juicy wine, yet stands up to even the most elegant occasions. Drink now. | Semi Dry | 90 | 15 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Dr. Konstantin Frank 2014 Semi Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes) | Riesling | Dr. Konstantin Frank |
| 23628 | 23627 | Austria | For now, the full, smoky hit of new oak fills nose and palate, while fresh citrus manages to get through here and there. The palate reveals a creamy saltiness but is currently dominated by the wood flavors and still needs to integrate and combine, wait for at least a year. | Alte Reben Pössnitzberg | 90 | 80 | Südsteiermark | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Erwin Sabathi 2014 Alte Reben Pössnitzberg Chardonnay (Südsteiermark) | Chardonnay | Erwin Sabathi |
| 23629 | 23628 | Austria | Creamy notes show subtle smoke and hazelnut notions. The flavor profile is equally subtle but has an underlying, pervasive lemony freshness that brightens the entire palate. This is a restrained, friendly, approachable but classy Chardonnay—and a very good choice for dishes that also have a spike of lemon flavor. | | 90 | 24 | Leithaberg | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Esterházy 2014 Chardonnay (Leithaberg) | Chardonnay | Esterházy |
| 23630 | 23629 | Italy | Toast, espresso, black plum and leather aromas open up in the nose. The round, juicy palate delivers ripe black cherry, blackberry, dark cooking spice and a gamy note alongside fine-grained tannins that give it a firm finish. | Saia | 90 | 33 | Sicily & Sardinia | Sicilia | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Feudo Maccari 2013 Saia Nero d'Avola (Sicilia) | Nero d'Avola | Feudo Maccari |
| 23631 | 23630 | US | This wine certainly packs in the flavor. It has lots of jammy, grapy aromas, and flavors that drip boysenberry and blackberry, followed by baking-spice accents. It has a full body, an almost thick texture and mild acidity and tannins. | Old Ghost | 89 | 37 | California | Lodi | Central Valley | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Klinker Brick 2013 Old Ghost Zinfandel (Lodi) | Zinfandel | Klinker Brick |
| 23632 | 23631 | US | Ebulliently fresh and fruity, this unoaked Chardonnay highlights flavors of freshly pressed apples, lemons and nectarines with sprays of honeysuckle and pollen. It's sprightly on the palate, showing lingering streaks of lemon and lime. Drink now–2017. | Unoaked | 89 | 15 | New York | New York | New York Other | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Benaddiction 2014 Unoaked Chardonnay (New York) | Chardonnay | Benaddiction |
| 23633 | 23632 | US | Assorted blue fruit, coffee, green tea and barrel-spice aromas lead to full-bodied fruit flavors that carry a touch of warmth. | Coyote Canyon Vineyard | 89 | 35 | Washington | Horse Heaven Hills | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Burnt Bridge 2013 Coyote Canyon Vineyard Syrah (Horse Heaven Hills) | Syrah | Burnt Bridge |
| 23634 | 23633 | US | The oak (two-thirds new French and American) leads, with aromas of cocoa, cinnamon and spice followed by plum. The palate shows an elegant styling but with good intensity to the flavors. | Estate Vineyard | 89 | 45 | Washington | Walla Walla Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Castillo De Feliciana 2013 Estate Vineyard Malbec (Walla Walla Valley (WA)) | Malbec | Castillo De Feliciana |
| 23635 | 23634 | France | Situated close to the city of Bordeaux, this estate has produced a Cabernet-dominated wine that has some firm tannins and a dry core. The black-currant fruit shows well, with fresh acidity giving a juicy character. It will soften quickly, so drink from 2017. | | 89 | 45 | Bordeaux | Haut-Médoc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Bellegrave du Poujeau 2013 Haut-Médoc | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Bellegrave du Poujeau |
| 23636 | 23635 | France | With an equal blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this firm wine has a juicy background, nurtured by consultant Hubert de Boüard (of Château Angelus). Chocolate and spice notes mix with the dry wood-aging character, while black currant flavors develop in the background. Give this wine until 2017. | | 89 | 30 | Bordeaux | Graves | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Chantegrive 2011 Graves | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château de Chantegrive |
| 23637 | 23636 | France | The enthusiastic use of wood for this wine gives a dark, spicy character that masks any fruit. Less new wood would have helped highlight the natural fruitiness of the wine. Leave it until 2020 and the fruit may fill out. Winemaker Stephan Carrier returned from Napa to take over winemaking after Irish businessman Lochlann Quinn bought the property in 2001. | | 89 | 50 | Bordeaux | Pessac-Léognan | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Fieuzal 2013 Pessac-Léognan | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château de Fieuzal |
| 23638 | 23637 | France | This wine is full of bright fruit and attractive acidity. It's been made to take advantage of the fruitiness of the year and is likely to develop quickly. Drink from 2018. | | 89 | 30 | Bordeaux | Margaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Ferrière 2013 Margaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Ferrière |
| 23639 | 23638 | France | While the tannins are still firm, this has the potential to be a fruity wine with attractive acidity. A juicy character will allow the wine to develop quickly. Sylviane Garcin-Cathiard also owns Clos L'Église in Pomerol, Château Barde-Haut in Saint-Émilion and Château Branon in Pessac Léognan. | | 89 | | Bordeaux | Pessac-Léognan | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Haut-Bergey 2013 Pessac-Léognan | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Haut-Bergey |
| 23640 | 23639 | France | While showing too much wood at the moment, this wine has potential. The red berries and black currants promise a fruity future with good tannins in support. Give the wine a few years and drink from 2019. | | 89 | 83 | Bordeaux | Pessac-Léognan | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Larrivet Haut-Brion 2013 Pessac-Léognan | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Larrivet Haut-Brion |
